Proactive Skin Care

[michellephillip]

Anyone ever use proactive skin care? I have heard so many good things about it. I have used it for about a week on my face and seem to have a small breakout. I dont know if the tiny sand-like facial cleanser is too rough for my face or what?? Has anybody else had this problem??

Hello and welcome to MuT! I'm Lisa from Texas.

I tried Proactiv once a long time ago but I had an allergic reaction to it and had to send it back. There's been quite a bit of discussion on it and here's a couple of links that I hope you will find helpful...

yes I use it now. I didnt see a change for about 5-6 months. Yes that long, But its says so on the desciption some people see a change in 3-6 months. I love it now. I dont get breakouts like I did. If I do it is 1, not 5 andthey are not the cystic bumps I was getting. I know it cen be strong for the face but thats why I only use it at night. It was drying my face too, so I had to use it once.

I have very sensitive skin. When I used a sample of it, my skin burned. I know people that use it and swear by it.

Good luck!

I used 1 1/2-2 sets of it and it did work but I had to age 5 years while I was using it...it dries you out like a prune! Check out acne.org and try their regimen, lots of people say it works.

I've been using Proactiv (mostly the cleanser) for years. I prefer Differin Gel, for treating acne, though.

My daughter uses it and she loves it. Her skin does look a lot better.

I use it, I havent been using it like I should but i'm starting to question it... it might not be right at all for my skin. I have very dry skin, and it just dries it out more but most of my acne is gone. I need to switch to some other products most likley but i'm not sure what is good for dry skin seeing that most products are made for oily/combo skin because the majority of woman have that type skin. I dont want to spend a fortune either so that is yet anotther dilema i'm facing.

I used it a while back a couple times and WOW my face got all itchy and blochy and dry and it was just terrible. So, the other day i saw a commercial about it and i decided to try it once more...And i have been using it for maybe 3-4 days and wow, my skin feels and looks cleaner. Although, i still have like 3 or so pimples...but it doesnt even dry my face anymore...And i only use it at night. && i have very sensitive dry skin.

it worked for awhile for me, and then it stopped.
